Medical Weight Loss Clinic Near Reston, VA

BeLite Medical Center is a physician-supervised weight loss practice in the City of Fairfax, about 13 miles south of Reston. BeLite has been treating weight loss since 1995, and our Fairfax office has served patients from Reston, South Lakes, Hunters Woods and across Northern Virginia since 1996. Your first consultation is free.

Where is BeLite in relation to Reston?

We are at 3923 Blenheim Blvd, Suite 61A, Fairfax, VA 22030, just south of Fairfax Circle. Free parking is available at the office park. That is worth knowing if you are used to feeding a meter at Reston Town Center.

Driving from Reston: From Reston Town Center and the North Point side, take Reston Parkway south to Route 50 (Lee Jackson Memorial Highway) and follow it east past Fair Oaks and into the City of Fairfax, where it becomes Fairfax Boulevard. Carry on east toward Fairfax Circle, then follow the signs onto Blenheim Boulevard south to 3923 Blenheim Boulevard, Suite 61A. From South Lakes and Hunters Woods, the Fairfax County Parkway south to Route 50 east is the more direct line and saves crossing the whole of Reston first.

Estimated driving time: approximately 20 to 30 minutes, and noticeably less from the South Lakes end than from North Point.

By public transit: Reston now has three Silver Line stations, but the Silver Line runs east toward Tysons and the District rather than south toward us. Reaching the office by rail means riding in to East Falls Church, changing to the Orange Line out to Vienna/Fairfax–GMU, and then taking a bus or a short ride from there — about an hour door to door. Fairfax Connector serves Reston but not this corridor directly. Our Reston patients drive.

What does the program involve?

BeLite specializes in the pharmacotherapy of obesity: prescription medications that reduce hunger and cravings, combined with a nutrition plan, exercise guidance, and close medical supervision. Because these are serious medications, patients are seen by a medical practitioner at least every four to five weeks to monitor progress, check for side effects, and adjust treatment.

We treat people who are healthy and overweight as well as people with significant medical problems. There are no contracts. If you come for a consultation and decide not to enroll, you pay nothing.

Which medications does BeLite prescribe?

Depending on your medical history and goals, your practitioner may recommend:

• Zepbound (tirzepatide)
• Wegovy (semaglutide)
• Phentermine
• Oral GLP-1 medications: Foundayo (orforglipron) and the Wegovy pill

Selected medications can be dispensed at our on-site pharmacy, so some patients, if they choose to, can leave their appointment with their prescriptions in hand. See the full list on our medications page.

Also available at BeLite

Alongside weight management, BeLite offers Xeomin — an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injection that smooths frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. It is the same class of treatment as Botox, with comparable effectiveness and duration; BeLite chose Xeomin because its formulation contains only the active molecule, without the accessory proteins that may contribute to resistance over years of use. Treatments are given by a certified physician assistant or board-certified nurse practitioner. Results appear over three to seven days and last three to four months, with no downtime, and the consultation is free.

Who provides the care?

Appointments are with Board Certified Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioners who specialize in weight loss medications, under the supervision of our Medical Director, Richard Rothman, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Rothman is a Board Certified Psychiatrist with a doctorate in pharmacology and extensive publications on the pharmacotherapy of obesity. Meet our medical providers.

Are appointments in person or virtual?

Your first visit is in person at our Fairfax office. We believe in-person care produces better results, and it is how we start every patient. Virtual follow-up visits may be offered to stable patients when approved by our Medical Director. Read why we favor in-person care.

What do patients say?

“I love having the monthly check-ins, the convenience of the on-site pharmacy, and the friendly staff.”

Eating, Walking and Training in Reston

Two parts of the program happen between appointments: how you eat day to day, and how you move. Reston makes both easier than most places we serve, because it was planned that way — but it is also spread across five village centres, so the list below names two ends of town. South Lakes and Hunters Woods are the closer side to our office; Town Center, Lake Anne and North Point are a few minutes further north. We have no affiliation with any of them.

Places to walk

Reston is the one community we serve where you can usually walk from wherever you parked. The Reston Association maintains something like fifty-five miles of paved pathway, largely off-road and separate from the county trail system, threaded between four lakes and the village centres. For anyone restarting a walking habit that matters more than it sounds: a two-mile loop that finishes at a plaza with a coffee shop is a far easier thing to commit to twice a week than a drive to a trailhead.

Two local cautions. Some of Reston’s prettiest water is Reston Association members-only, and the map pins do not always say so — visitors to Lake Audubon report following directions to a private driveway. Everything listed below is publicly walkable. And parking at Reston Town Center is metered or garage-paid on weekday daytimes, which is exactly when you are likely to go; garages are free in the evenings and at weekends.

• Lake Anne Blue Trail, Lake Anne, Reston, VA 20190 — about two miles right around the lake on Reston Association pathway, finishing at Lake Anne Plaza, which is the point: a walk with a destination. No gate and no closing time. Two practical notes: there is no trailhead car park, so you park on a nearby street; and the map pin lands on Wiehle Avenue rather than at the water, so start from the Plaza itself. Some stretches run behind houses with no lake view and no way off, so walk it once before you rely on it.
• Walker Nature Center, 11450 Glade Dr, Reston, VA 20191 — a wooded nature preserve with easy, well-marked trails and its own car park at the Nature House. The surfaces are mixed — paved, gravel and mulch — and reviewers describe the paved section as taking a stroller or a walker, so there is a flat option here as well as a two-mile wander. Properly shaded, and rarely crowded. Note: the 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM hours listed online, and the Tuesday closure, belong to the Nature House building and not to the grounds. Call 703-476-9689 if you need the building open.
• Reston Town Square Park, 11900 Market St, Reston, VA 20190 — completely flat, paved and cushioned underfoot, with benches, a fountain and shade from the buildings. This is a ten or twenty minute stroll rather than a distance walk, and that is its use: somewhere to move after a meal without committing to an outing. No public restroom in the park, though the surrounding shops have them, and weekday parking is paid.
• Baron Cameron Park, 11300 Baron Cameron Ave, Reston, VA 20190 — walking paths and woodland trails around the playing fields, with a path running down by Lake Newport and a set of outdoor exercise stations near the fields, which is unusual and genuinely useful if you want to add something to a walk. Plenty of parking. Honest caveats: it is an athletic-field complex first, so the walking goes around and through rather than on one marked loop, and regular users complain about dog mess on the grass.

Eating out without starting over

Your plan is built around normal food in smaller quantities, not special meals. Reston has more choice than almost anywhere else we serve — Town Center and Plaza America alone hold dozens of restaurants — so rather than list them, the three below are the ones where a sensible order takes no negotiation with the kitchen.

• True Food Kitchen, 11901 Democracy Dr, Reston, VA 20190 — built around what it calls anti-inflammatory cooking, and the only restaurant on any of these pages whose own menu flags high-protein and low-carb dishes as a category. Their line is that most items can be modified. The ancient grain bowl and the salmon are the orders reviewers come back for. Open from 11:00 AM, and from 10:30 AM at weekends.
• Grill Kabob, 11688 Plaza America Dr, Reston, VA 20190 — Afghan charcoal kebabs: chicken, lamb and kofta, with naan, falafel and salads. One regular describes exactly the right approach without being asked — order the salad on the side so you have somewhere to put the protein instead of the very large pile of rice. Open 10:30 AM to 9:00 PM on weekdays, from 11:30 AM at weekends. Point yourself at the chicken.
• Taste of Istanbul, 1862 Explorer St, Reston, VA 20190 — Turkish, fully halal, built on grilled lamb and chicken with vegetable mezze alongside. A grilled plate and a salad is a straightforward meal here; the shareable mezze platters and the lahmacun are the heavier end. Weekday hours run 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, but the weekend closing time is listed differently by the restaurant and by Google, so ring ahead if you are going late.

Three rather than a longer list, deliberately. Reston Town Center, Plaza America and the village centres hold many more places worth eating in, and the principle travels: look for something grilled, roasted or broth-based, ask for the vegetable or salad side in place of the rice or chips, and order the dressing separately. That is most of the work.

Gyms and studios

Strength training protects muscle while you lose weight, which is why we raise it with every patient. Reston has a great deal of fitness provision and a good deal of it is aimed at people who are already fit. The three below were chosen the other way round — for evidence that they are comfortable with someone walking in heavier and less fit than they would like to be.

• FUSION360FITNESS, 11130 South Lakes Dr, Unit D, Reston, VA 20191 — a small studio at South Lakes Village Center doing one-to-one work, groups of up to four, and a few classes. Of every gym across these pages, this one’s reviews speak most directly to the people we treat: clients describing themselves as the heaviest they had ever been, or coming back from a knee injury, and saying they were never made to feel embarrassed. There is a free fitness assessment to start and an introductory first-month rate. Open from 5:30 AM on weekdays and closed Sunday; the Saturday hours shown online are plainly a data error, so ring 703-860-5635. The closest of the three to our office.
• REPFIT Studio, 1641B Washington Plaza N, Reston, VA 20190 — a class studio on Lake Anne Plaza, so you can pair it with the lake loop above. Cycling, strength and conditioning, core and mobility, yoga, 45 to 60 minutes. The reason it is here is a class called 55+ Ride 45, described as low-impact and joint-friendly and adjustable to your own level — on a bike you set the resistance yourself, which makes it one of the safer ways back in. The first visit is free. Two things to know: this is a small satellite space used for classes rather than a full gym, and it was formerly New Trail Cycling, so older reviews use that name. 571-512-8558.
• Epic Athletic Center, 11503 Sunset Hills Rd, Reston, VA 20190 — the one with actual weights and space to use them, plus one-to-one training. Its own site is explicit that it is neither CrossFit nor HIIT, which is worth saying because so much of what surrounds it is, and members get around-the-clock access. Staffed hours and the opening times listed online do not match, so confirm on 443-414-9873 before a first visit. Treat this as the place to go once you have started rather than the place to start.
